Stephen Jackson scored 12 of his 29 points in overtime, and Baron Davis had 34 points and 14 assists in yet another remarkable late-game performance during the Golden State Warriors' 130-121 victory over San Antonio on Monday night.

Davis scored 12 points in the fourth quarter with a stunning series of baskets and passes, but the defending champion Spurs erased a six-point deficit in the final 47 seconds. Tony Parker forced overtime on a 3-pointer with 6.3 seconds left in San Antonio's second loss at Golden State in four weeks.

Jackson, who won a title with the Spurs in 2003, hit two 3-pointers and two free throws in a 56-second span of overtime, and Davis added a pullback jumper with 43 seconds to play as the Warriors won the season series with the Spurs for the first time since 1996-97. Golden State also avoided its first three-game losing streak since beginning the season 0-6.

Tim Duncan, who didn't play in the Spurs' previous trip to Oakland on Dec. 11, had 32 points and 13 rebounds, while Parker finished with 31 points and eight assists. The Warriors' tenacity prevented Spurs coach Gregg Popovich from getting his 600th career victory.
